Not the most enjoyable puzzle, since the first move is a take.

Why not?
Why doesn't the King take the Rook?

because
The queen mates at c3.

I'd say 3 stars difficulty for this one.
The hard puzzles the last two days have been very hard.
The previous two were quite easy.

Volgens mij staat wit al MAT Witte koning kan geen kant op, ook de zwarte Pion wordt gedekt door de loper. En n ander stuk kan pion ook niet pakken.
